"Peace cannot be achieved by force. It can only be achieved by understanding" -Albert Einstein
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
--Buddha
"To be educated is not only to be proficient in mathematics, history, or geography, it is also to have the ability to understand this extraordinary thing called death-not when you are physically dying, but while you are living...Death is the unknown, and what matters is to know of the unknown while you are living." --J. Krishnamurti
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect." -- Mark Twain
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.†-- MLK
